4. Procedure
Note: In the following sections, software-related items are identified by bolding. Text in
bold refers to items directly from the EV kit software. Text in bold and underlined
refers to items from the Windows operating system.
1. Connect the Fresno board to the JB1 port of a Nexys 3 development kit as
shown in Figure 1 . Power up the Nexys 3 development kit. The Fresno board is
completely powered from the Nexys 3 development kit and no external power is
required.
2. Download the latest RD11V01_00.ZIP file located at
www.maximintegrated.com/AN5563 . All files available for download are
available at the bottom of the page.
3. Extract the RD11V01_00.ZIP file to a directory on your PC. The location is
arbitrary but the path prior to where you extract the .ZIP file must not exceed 82
characters due to the Windows 250-character total path limitation. For example,
this 90-character preceding path would be an example of a path that would be
too long:
C:\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\0123456789\01234
56789\0123456789\0123456789\RD11V01_00.ZIP
(This path is too long.)
In addition, the Xilinx tools require the path to not contain any spaces.
C:\Do Not Use Spaces In The Path\RD11V01_00.ZIP
(This path has spaces.)
For the purposes of this document, it will be C:\designs\maxim\RD11V01_00\.
